Modern Figurative Sculptures

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Victor Salmones “By the Sea” Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Latin American Art
Victor Salmones “By the Sea” Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Latin American Art

Victor Salmones “By the Sea” Bronze Figurative Sculpture, Latin American Art

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A powerful and expressive limited-edition bronze sculpture titled “By the Sea” by renowned Mexican sculptor Victor Salmones, celebrated for his dynamic figurative works that merge modernist abstraction with classical human form. This striking sculpture portrays a reclining female figure captured in a dramatic suspended pose, balancing gracefully on extended arms and legs. The composition creates a captivating sense of movement and tension, emphasizing both strength and elegance in the human form. Salmones’ distinctive sculptural language is evident throughout the piece. The figure is modeled with expressive textural surfaces and fluid anatomical lines, giving the work a raw, tactile quality that contrasts beautifully with the polished presentation of its base. The sculpture rests on a clear Lucite plinth, elevating the figure visually while creating the illusion that the form is floating within space—an effect that makes the piece particularly compelling when displayed on a console, pedestal, or coffee table in contemporary interiors. The underside of the sculpture is signed and numbered by the artist and marked: Victor Salmones 5/10 confirming that the piece is number 5 from a limited edition of only ten casts. It is accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by the artist. Works by Victor Salmones are highly sought after by collectors of Mexican modern sculpture...

"Pompeii" Memory Jug by Michael Thompson

By Michael Thompson

Located in Chicago, IL

Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. In his ongoing series of memory jugs, Thompson adorns stoneware vessels with a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, found objects, and pocket-sized trinkets he collected over the course of his life. Also known as forget-me-not jugs or spirit jars, memory jugs are African American folk art objects that honor a loved one who has recently passed. Small tokens and mementos of the deceased are gathered and affixed to the exterior of a jug or vase, an abundance of memories that celebrates a life lived to the fullest. Michael Thompson applies this tradition to his own practice, creating tactile assemblages of this and that. Formed in the manner of collage, each jug honors the lost memories of generations past and his own memories of personally discovering each item. With varied sources for materials including Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico, a great number of the found shards are 18th and 19th century ceramics...

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art
Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A powerful bronze sculpture of a male torso by renowned Mexican modernist sculptor Victor Salmones (1937–1989). This finely executed Artist Proof (A/P) exemplifies Salmones’ celebrated exploration of the human form, combining classical sculptural traditions with the expressive language of modernism. The sculpture presents a muscular male torso rendered with dynamic modeling and richly textured surfaces, capturing both strength and sensuality. The dark patinated bronze emphasizes the sculptor’s expressive treatment of anatomy, with subtle variations in tone highlighting the movement and vitality of the figure. Salmones was internationally recognized for his monumental public sculptures and refined studio works, many of which reinterpret classical figurative themes through a modernist lens. His work is represented in important public collections and architectural settings throughout Mexico and internationally. Mounted on a solid travertine stone base, the sculpture achieves a balanced dialogue between the warmth of natural stone and the depth of the bronze patina, creating a sophisticated presentation suitable for modern interiors, curated collections, or architectural settings. Signed by the artist and marked Artist Proof (A/P), this work represents a compelling example of 20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture...
